Problem with printing reports
Hi,
I have this user who is having trouble with the print options for reports for certain reports. The person sets the report to print to the default printer. This is the desired and necessary setting since people are accessing the database from multiple locations and it is important for security reasons for reports from other people not to be spitting out of the printer in his area without his knowledge. He sets the printer to default printer and it's fine for a while. Eventually the printer switches to specific printer, with the printer in his area being specified. This happens to users in another location who are unlikely to know the name of his printer, much less have a reason to print to it. I have searched google and Microsoft's site and have not seen a single mention of a problem of this nature. I haven't been able to duplicate the problem on my own test machines, but I also haven't had an opportunity to try it with the DB that is exhibiting this behavior yet. It occourred to me on Friday that this may be a PEBKAC issue with someone else in his area switching it to specific printer and saving it. I'm not sure if there is even anyone else in his area accessing this DB though, and I am pretty sure that he would have mentioned the problem to anyone working on this DB. I am going to check on this possibility Monday, but I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like this before. Thanks! ~ endus ~~ at ~ endus ~ dot ~~ com ~ But what the hell.
